Hello all, just upgraded my T7300 to retail T7700, using the maintenance manual, and i have 60/65° C average on using it let's say Internet , usual surfing, email stuff

could some t61 users post their temperatures, idle, 3D, or whatever to compare ?
thanks

Sorry about this being slightly off-topic but what were you battery times with the T7300 and then with the T7700? Was there a noticable difference when a.) just surfing the web or b.) doing something CPU/System intensive?

Has anyone actually succeeded in doing this? I'd like to apply Arctic Silver instead of the current stuff - the fan ramps up too much for my taste, and I've done a clean install already. Perhaps a better thermal interface will solve the problem.

I'm concerned about messing it up though. I've looked at the service manual, seems straightforward, but I've never opened up my thinkpad before (t61, integrated graphics, 14").

I read another post that one should not touch the thermal pad on the graphics chip. Can't you remove that and add AS instead?
